Devotees seated on a pale grey floor in a room with yellow-ochre walls performing a Ganesha puja. A large dark stone Ganesha murti with pink cloth, white flower garland and a decorated crown sits on a black stand at right, with a red curtain beside it. A woman in a green sari sits at the stand tending a brass oil lamp (aarti) with offering plates and small trays of fruit and sweets. Around her, four seated people face the altar: a man in a blue shirt and jeans, a woman in a cream sari, a woman in a magenta-bordered sari, and a woman in a green sari. A bare-chested man in white dhoti sits in the middle, hands folded in prayer, beside a hanging tassel of multicolored threads. A shaved-headed bare-backed devotee sits in the foreground. This is a Ganesha abhishekam and puja offering.
